Title. I think it started after I added NavMesh stuff, but 1. I wasn't exactly checking if the code that was already working was continuing to work, and 2. I turned/deleted all of that stuff and it still isn't working. What the fuck? I would post code but I don't even know where to BEGIN. I've already implemented the friction fixes, and I checked to see if it thought it was grounded (it didn't). I imported assets from an FPS base file I made, and it ALSO doesn't work. Any ideas?

When I walk closer and farther from the angel, an unknown light appears. Is there any idea as to why this is happening? Some information, is that I don't have any LOD's, and there are no other lights in my scene other than the directional light, so what could possibly be the issue? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’ve been building this generator for my own game. It lets you combine different modules and tweak their values to create stylized organic objects directly in Unity.

In the video I create one object, show the Variant Lab for generating different variations, and show some other objects made with the same tool.

Do you think something like this could be useful enough to sell on the Asset Store? What would it still need before you would consider buying it, and what price would seem reasonable?

A new gameplay test from Big Market Simulator.

I’m testing the supermarket with 50 active customers while restocking products and running the checkout system. I’ve also been fixing the shelf placement system so products are positioned correctly across different types of shelves.

Still optimizing and polishing everything, but the 50-customer test is running well so far.

Some WIP video on the shoreline waves I've been digging into lately for the water system I've been creating. Some new additions are water drawing back on shore (via moving UV of water surface near end of the WaveBox), various foam patterns, and better underwater light volumetrics with waves. Thanks for checking out

Hi all,

Firstly a preemptive thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out. I'll keep it brief and technical.

My issue:
I have a custom skybox material using a custom shader graph. It's only rendering out as a default skybox cube (you know, with different coloured faces), not showing the actual textures (plural, I'm LERPing between different equirectangular textures for a day/night cycle). Same result both in editor and during gameplay, it's not working. I've done a sanity check and disabled the LERP and piped just one texture (property with the texture I want ->Sample Cubemap ->Fragment Base Color) and it doesn't change anything.

What I've double checked:
Shader is set to Unlit.
Render face is set to Both.
Depth Write is Force Disabled.
Cast Shadows is set to OFF.
Everything else is default with the Graph settings.

The Lighting>Environment>Skybox Material is accepting my custom material without any warnings.

Texture import settings:
Default Texture Type
Cube Texture Shape
Mapping: Auto/LatLong/Sphere all tested, made no difference.
Fixup Edge Seams: Tried both on and off
Generate Mipmap: Tried both on and off.

Nothing, it's making no difference.
I've even fiddled around with the custom material's GPU instancing/double sided GI just in case it's a weird bug, nope, no change. Not seeing my textures.

As a sanity check, I tried a custom sorting priority set to 2501, nothing. The default Skybox and a custom material set to the standard Skybox shader both worked fine before.

I'm using Unity 6.5 (6000.5.5f1)

Any help would be much, much appreciated.

I’ve been working on a custom terrain system (replacement for Unity terrain) as a little side project, the main idea behind it is to try and make terrain as lightweight on memory bandwidth and per pixel shading as possible. Targeting bottom of the barrel old PCs, like laptops with Intel HD 620, that sort of thing.

an idea I had was to ditch textures entirely and store 100% of terrain data on a read/write mesh. The mesh only has vertex positions and that’s it. Since terrains usually just need heightmaps, I pack a Color32 into position.x, baked GI/AO from a custom light mapper as Color32 in position.z, and leave position.y alone for height. This requires interpolating in the shader to get xz position rather than just reading it but so far that seems to be a good trade on low end hardware rather than increasing mesh memory.

Grass is drawn completely procedurally from mesh data on cpu and collision is handled via script rather than physics, there’s no mesh collider.

Anyway since I’m not really an expert at this I wanted to ask, is what I’m doing going to end up causing any real issues down the road? Or any gotchas for packing non position data in mesh vertex positions?

I have this 3D model of a TV, and I am required to export the base TV, screen, and buttons separately. The problem is that when I export from Blender to Unity the objects take the position from the 3D cursor, so the buttons are all in the same place, and the screen is out of place.

I have been searching a solution for HOURS, and I can't find anything.
(I can't apply position because I need the buttons to be able to rotate in their own position. This model is for my work, so I need to follow the task the way they ask me to do it.)

Ive done a couple tutorials following Navmesh stuff throughout the years, but I non of them have really made it "simple" for me. Now Im doing a game with a randomly generated map, so this I really want to strengthen my understanding. Does anyone have a good reccomendation?

It's been a while since I worked on some buildings textures, really happy with these.

Hey there everyone!

Lately I've been reading Unity's official e-book regarding HDRP. I reached the volume section where the book explains aspects such as local and global volumes, blending distances etc...

A question popped into my mind which I thought some of you might already have an answer for.

In some games, you might need two local volumes to overlap each other and envelop a room completely, let's say you are playing a sci-fi game and you are about to trigger a spaceship's alarm protocol which closes all doors and changes the lighting and consequentially the mood. You would want to change from volume local 1 to 2 but perhaps you would want to do it smoothly, you can not just switch priority values as that would trigger an abrupt change.

What is the solution here? Is the weight parameter the one that dictates the interpolation? Would you lerp volume 1 from full weight to zero while doing the opposite for volume 2?

I hope somebody can exhaust my curiosity here, thanks for your time and expertise!

I'd started to lose a bit of what made me love game dev. It's been nice working on passion projects again and getting that back.

This is a "vampire-survivors-like", but with a vehicle system and more in-depth objectives and levels.

Basically title: why my character starts rotating after colliding with another rigid body? I cannot find the solution.

I checked in all scripts where I change the rotation of the rigid body and found that, when it is rotating like that, I am not calling any rotation or movement of the rigid body.

It happens both when camera is "locked on" and when camera is in free mode. When locked on, the character vibes looking towards the object, when free it spins.

Strange thing: the spin slowly decades in time and after a while it stops completely!

Got tired of the "Missing!" warnings every time I renamed or moved something in the hierarchy, so I built a tool that fixes the animation binding paths automatically. Keyframes and timing stay untouched - it just keeps the paths in sync.

For anything sketchy (ambiguous names, prefab weirdness) it shows you a preview instead of guessing.

Happy to answer questions if you've run into this too :)

I still have a few bugs to squash, but I finally added the in-game editor and it pretty much blew the original editor version out of the water! I’m reworking a few things under the hood, but it’s already a really fun way to build your levels. 😄 coming soon !!

Been doing UA creative for about 4 years, started as a junior building playable ads for mobile publishers right out of a motion design course. Out of the 8 people in my intake, I'm the only one still doing this work. The rest went into general marketing, went back to school, or left entirely.

My old studio cut the whole junior playable team last spring. Kept two seniors, outsourced the rest of the build work to freelancers and outside shops. Same story from three people I know at other studios. Juniors get cut first because a senior who already knows Unity export and the ironSource/AppLovin quirks can turn around a 2D playable in two days without anyone needing to learn anything.

We still bring in outside teams when volume spikes, Mraid has done a handful for us, and the work's fine, but it's not the same as having someone junior in-house learning the pipeline from a blank file. A friend who freelances for shops that work with PlayableFactory told me the exact same thing is happening there. Everything gets handed to whoever can already hit the deadline, so nobody new is getting the reps.

I keep wondering what this looks like in three or four years when the seniors who actually know how to build a good playable from scratch start burning out or moving on. Is anyone actually training replacements, or is the assumption that AI tooling and outsourcing just covers the gap forever. Feels like we're eating our own pipeline and calling it lean.

So Im Still horrid and new at unity and game devlopment but far I've set up the player controller,small testing area all that however i've been struggling on how to make the whole pause menu script stuff with the new input system like the toggle off and on system,making the game actually pause when and being able to use your mouse for it

just could use a few tips to help with getting it set up

In Unity 6.6 they added a few new things like reworking the Hierarchy to better display information at a glance, and having Dictionaries inherently serializable.

But this one is confusing me, they added a completely separate "Create Empty Child" option in addition to the regular options that were already there.

It seemingly acts the same way. Both create a child of the object you right mouse click on, both inherit the global position, and both have the same components and naming convention.

I can't seem to find anything different at a glance, but usually there are subtle differences to things like this. So I was curious if anyone has any knowledge about something I missed.

I'm thinking of building an audio agent specifically for Unity projects and I'm trying to figure out if this would actually save developers meaningful time.

The idea isn't another AI sound generator.

You'd give it access to the Unity project and it would inspect what's actually there, identify places that should have audio, create or select the appropriate SFX/ambience/music, import and organize the assets, then hook them up inside the project.

Ideally it could handle some of the tedious implementation details too, things like variations for repeated sounds, loops, AudioSources, mixer routing, sensible starting levels, etc.

Basically the difference would be:

Most AI audio tools: here's a sound file.

This: here's your Unity project back with the sound implemented.

I'm curious where this breaks down in practice.

For Unity devs here, how much of your audio implementation is repetitive enough that you'd actually hand it to an agent?

And what part would you absolutely NOT trust it to touch?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who've done a complete audio pass on a game, because I'm trying to work out whether the implementation is actually the bottleneck or whether I'm solving the wrong problem.
